The world's oceans and seas cover 70% of the surface of our planet, provide the vastest ecosystem, go as deep as 6 miles (10km) and are only just being surveyed. In the deep oceans - 2 out of 3 animals encountered are new to science.
We don't expect too many deep sea blog entries - but an increasing number of our members are blogging from the ocean waves, via satellite internet equipped yachts - or the old fashioned method of typing it up later.
